FIELD NOTES · PILOT EDITION · 2026-09-10
Follow the business.
Understand the stage.
The first edition of our critical-minerals research brief looks at a practical question: how can readers tell an exploration project from a business that can supply a product?
Three questions worth asking
- What does the company do today? An explorer, a mine developer and a processor serve different purposes in a supply chain.
- Where is the selected asset? Listing exchange, head office and project geography are distinct. Start with the project page and trace ownership to current disclosures.
- Who should receive the enquiry? Investor relations, product sales and project-development teams answer different questions.
